As the operating temperature provided in the specifications is a result of the test performed in VIA s chamber, a number of variables can influence this result. Please note that the working temperature may vary depending on the actual situation and environment. It is highly suggested to execute a solid testing and take all the variables into consideration when building the system. Please ensure that the system runs well under the operating temperature in terms of application. 2.. Please note that the lifespan of the onboard emmc memory chip may vary depending on the amount of access. More frequent and larger data access on emmc memory makes its lifespan shorter. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use a replaceable external storage (e.g., Micro SD card) for large data access. 4

17 3. Onboard Jumpers This section will explain how to configure the QSM-8Q60 to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. Jumper Description A jumper consists of pair conductive pins used to close in or bypass an electronic circuit to set up or configure particular feature using a jumper cap. The jumper cap is a small metal clip covered by plastic. It performs like a connecting bridge to short (connect) the pair of pins. The usual colors of the jumper cap are black/red/blue/white/yellow. Basic Jumper Configuration There are two settings of the jumper pin: Short and Open. The pins are Short when a jumper cap is placed on the pair of pins. The pins are Open if the jumper cap is removed. In addition, there are jumpers that have three or more pins, and some pins are arranged in series. In case of a jumper with three pins, place the jumper cap on pin 1 and pin 2 or pin 2 and 3 to Short it. Some jumper size is small or mounted on the crowded location on the board that makes it difficult to access. Therefore, using a long-nose pliers in installing and removing the jumper cap is very helpful. Figure 7: Jumper settings example Caution: Make sure to install the jumper cap on the correct pins. Installing it in the wrong pin might cause damage and malfunction. 8
